King Kante 1,643 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 On 23/09/2020 at 10:17 PM, Hutcho said: I thought he was gone. Out the door completely. But he played pretty well today all over the pitch so who knows. I can't see us keeping 3 left backs though. But maybe he's now a right winger The problem with Emerson is twofold. First, is that, like Alonso, he is best as a LWB and not great at LB. Second, is that he appeared to want to leave last season and looked liked he gave up. Alonso has a lot of critics but some of the performances Emerson put in last season where absolutely diabolical. As for his long term future, I think he is gone this window still. Most likely as a loan to buy with option as that is all we seem to do now. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all true but luckily this year its just a backup role and some rotation we need them for.I'd rather keep alonso if I had to pick just 1 as he offers something different and we know he can be effective if we play 3 at the back. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 As a defender hes a far better winger Hes faster than Alonso yet doesnt seem to put the crosses in he CAN Alonsos also that added extra with his headers and can take a good free kick. I had to think a couple of times who he was the other day. Looks like a different player, I really have no idea who our squad will end up being with so many to get rid of. The loan army numbers have gone down havent they. Should just have a fire sale. Tho I dont want us to get rid of Barkley. Hes a good squad player from bench and I do like him with Kova. Cant let Gooners have Jorgi neither! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crazy part for emerson is that he is actually a better fit for our system but he was so bad that alonso who actually not suited with our style outperformed him big time.

Vesper 30,160 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Video: Forgotten Chelsea ace produces brilliant and vital challenge vs Robert Lewandowski in Nations League clash https://www.caughtoffside.com/2020/10/13/chelsea-news-emerson-tackle-vs-lewandowski-video/ Forgotten Chelsea left-back Emerson Palmieri has reminded us all of his quality with a superb piece of defending for the Italian national team against Poland. Watch the video below as Emerson produced a stunning and important tackle on Poland striker Robert Lewandowski, denying him what looked like a huge scoring opportunity in their Nations League clash… Chelsea signed Ben Chilwell this summer, meaning Emerson is now possibly Frank Lampard’s third choice left-back, with Marcos Alonso also still in the mix. This seems a bit harsh on the former Roma defender, who clearly remains a key player for his country and someone capable of providing great work rate and leadership at the back. ja1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I where near forgotten. He just reminded us of his deficiencies a week ago. The reason this tackle looks so spectacular is bc he failed to stay in line with the striker or at least at his shoulder, same mistake as vs Lamela. You have to credit him that he marked the run at all and stayed on the correct side tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,317 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 There are not many options available and even if they are, would they be ok with being backup? So we may continue with Emerson... Telles for example, I heard from Utd fans is horrible apart from crossing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Chilwell and Alonso do not offer us much anyway and Emerson is much faster than both of them and a much better crosser. He never was a bad 1 vs 1 defender, he just lacked awareness, which in a back 3 does not cost you much because there are other players that can save you. Alonso lacks awareness too, but it rarely costs us any points Beigl and Magic Lamps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a reason Sarri used him as a winger. He is technically as proficient as the turtle but as you said way pacier and a better crosser. Just remember his brilliant cross for our first goal in our last EL final. Lwb might very well be his best position. don’t know about his offensive output given he has almost never scored for us or Roma. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
